Hi
I am just getting used to using Fireworks and Dreamweaver. Although I think they're great tools, i was just wondering what the best way to use the two together was. If i design a web page in Fireworks - graphics, text, etc - is there an easy way to place everything in Dreamweaver or do i have to painfully slice it up and put it into tables/layers?

Thanks

well actually if you use button graphics you can use the steps below it works great on all of my sites and i don't need to slice a thing

1 . draw a rectangel . add color , border , text ... etc
2 . select the whole button including the text ... go to -- modify<symbol<convert to symbol . name it & select " button "
3. to create muti button just go to " library panel " and drag the buton out to canvas
4. ** Double ** click on the 1st button symbol to edit it
5 . from the pop up box select .. "over" choose " copy up graphic" , this will be ur mouse over button so u can change the color as u like
6. to change the text u can always click on any button and go to the property panel and type in a new text
7 . u are all set to preview and save the graphics

hope this helps any question post up i'll try to help if i can

I used to design the whole page in Fireworks and slice it up for dreamweaver but unless you do it carefully you'll end up with thousands of small images in your site and a very long load time.
These days i keep my designs geometric where possible and just use Fireworks for the initial design concept and for creating the individual graphics that i use when i build the site in Dreamweaver. This helps to keep the image numbers down. I've also learned how to use CSS more effectively so to avoid using swap images for buttons etc.

design & slice in fireworks -- much easier! u dont have to use dreamweaver! fireworks handles all dat in one.
